Whenever we speak with someone, both people expect to maintain minimum eye contact, at least to make the conversation a lot less awkward. But, it is not always possible with video calls especially if one of them are visually impaired. The other person will feel like you are looking down when you could be looking at their face on your mobile screen.
Now FaceTime has a quick solution for that. It fakes your eye contact with the other people on the call.
How to enable FaceTime Eye Contact
The eye contact feature is exclusively for FaceTime calls. You can enable the option from your iPhone’s settings, it works on the iPhone Xs model or later with iOS 14.
Open Settings on your iPhone.
Go to FaceTime.
Scroll down and toggle on the “Eye Contact” option.
Fake Eye Contact in FaceTime Calls
Once you enable the eye contact option in FaceTime, it will fake your contact throughout the FaceTime calls. Whether you are looking at the camera, your face, or the other person’s face, it will seem as if you are looking at their face to the other person.
Eye contact will work well for small eye movements. If you look far away from the iPhone screen, it won’t work as you expect. Also, some people may find the fake eye contact feature creepy. Some may not like you “looking” at their face along with the entire call.
